Hi people, I think I need some help here. I did some search in the group and found this few topics<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21searchin/android-developers/startManagingCursor$20deprecated>about my questions, so sorry if I am being silly.
First, When should I close my Cursors? I always close them in the onPause method of an Activity (with the code bellow), and due a HoneyComb issue before "open" the Cursor I check if it's not null and "opened" to avoid the error described here<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21searchin/android-developers/startManagingCursor$20deprecated/android-developers/BlgTO-yQHX4/whQZ345ITb0J> : protected void onResume () { if(cursor != null && !cursor.isClosed()){ stopManagingCursor(cursor); cursor.close(); } cursor = getCursorFromMySQLiteDataBase(); startManagingCursor(cursor); //use cursor to fill a ListView ou Spinner } protected void onPause () { if(cursor != null && !cursor.isClosed()){ stopManagingCursor(cursor); cursor.close(); } } } Stop the cursor in onPause method seems to be a good thing because, when I call another Activity from this, the father Activity is paused, right? I also because when I close the app, onPause is also performed, right again? I know the startManagingCursor and StopManagingCursor is deprecated (this page<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#startManagingCursor%28android.database.Cursor%29>says it): "Use the new CursorLoader<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/CursorLoader.html>class with LoaderManager<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/LoaderManager.html>instead; this is also available on older platforms through the Android compatibility package. " But CursorLoader and LoaderManager works just with ContentProviders, right? That I am doing (above code) it's a bad thing? I need to get a away to change all my databases methods to use only ContentProviders? The documentation is not very clear about it. Here<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ContentProvider.html>say: "If you don't need to share data amongst multiple applications you can use a database directly via SQLiteDatabase<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/sqlite/SQLiteDatabase.html>. " but how to keep managing my Cursors from SQLiteDatabase without use [start,stop]ManagingCursor (since it's deprecated and probably soon it will not be there)? Well, I made a lot of questions in this topic, I don't want to mess around, I am just lost in those questions. Sorry again if I am being not clear enough about, I tried to, English is not my first lang.
